Lill Lindfors

Artist: Lill Lindfors
LP: Du Är Den Ende
Song: "Låt Mej Va'—De' e' Bra (Don't Think Twice—It's Alright)"
[ listen ]

Born in Helsinki, Finland in 1940, Lill Lindfors became a singing sensation in neighboring Sweden in the 1960s, where she now lives and continues to perform in one-woman musical-comedy shows. As one of the presenters at the 1985 Eurovision Song Contest in Gothenburg, Sweden, Lindfors staged a funny "wardrobe malfunction" that you can watch on YouTube with the link below. Read more about Lill Lindfors here, see her complete five-decade-spanning discography on her website here and find the Swedish-language liner notes from the back of her wonderful 1966 "Du Är Den Ende" LP included below. (If a Lill Lindfors fan out there would translate them into English for me, that would be great!)
